you are also not counted if you have been unemployed for too long. I believe it's 6 months in most places...

“Looking for work” only through unemployment. The rest of looking for a job uncounted is uncounted.

I fall into the underemployed! I had to take a major step back job bc the economy is so awful. A job that’s a step back is way better for me than the nightmare of a job market

I don’t even know how this is accounted because no one has ever asked me if I’m looking for a job or when I get a job or if I’m still looking for another job or I gave up…

or if they do uber and create a company to write of taxes solo, that creates 7-10 jobs according to the government.

The unemployment rate that is used is the u-3 rate. The one you most likely are trying to find is the u-6 rate
